Hi Johnnie, yep I have an RH. I believe it is an ex Barry Senn bike from NZ. It is pretty much correct. Missing a couple of bits and pieces like the countershaft cover and proper airbox.
Cool... I'm guessing it's a '75? The RM250a airbox and sprocket cover will fit.

That is interesting to hear Bill. The RH250L being a "copy" of the RH72 might have something to do with it. By 74 the Factory bikes would have moved on a bit no doubt.

Bill your bike is ex Ivan Millers isn't it ?

Hi Johnnie , I have an RM250B and it needed a sprocket cover, so I got hold of a cheapish NOS one that was supposed to be for a 370A and it fitted the 250B , but it is not close to the RH motor. I will send a pm about the RH.

A lot of stuff swaps from the RM370 and RM250. I thought the sprocket cover would fit the RH also as a lot of RM parts will fit.. i don't have sprocket covers for either of my RH's

Hi Bill, I'm not sure if it is an ex Ivan Miller bike. Be good if it was. It's a very nice 250L that has been restored well.

Be interesting to hear what you guys and girls reckon the hen house RH is worth.
$2K, $5K or $10K even. I'm thinking somewhere around the $5 grand mark. Given that parts are rare and expensive if you do find some . Be good to see it end up being restored and not left to gather feathers.

I'd be onto it as quick as I've ever moved at 5k! No matter how rooted these things are they're amongst the most desirable bikes in our sport, up there with twin port CZ's and OW Yamahas. I know of an RH75 and RN75 matching pair sitting in a shed, unused for years. Unfortunately the owner has no intention of either using or selling them.

Ali...Unless you want to open up a bidding war or get gazumped on the RH75, I'd be keeping it to myself until you have it in your shed. As others and I have said elsewhere, these bikes are very desirable and it's quite probable that someone with a bigger wallet and a more convincing schtick will get in under you and snag the bike before you know it. There's no etiquette book for bike hunters.

That's COOL, I had a TM125 then a RM125a back in the day. Used to lust over these RN & RH's.

Depending on the condition of the Motor / Box i would think probably 8 to 10 K  :)
